Zoraptor Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I'm playing Sudden Strike 4. Sounds a lot like Men of War from that description. Those were enjoyable games, not particularly realistic, but good fun. On GOG it's Windows and Mac only, since there is still no GOG Galaxy for Linux (despite them promising it 2 years ago, part of the reason I no longer buy anything from GOG). Yep, they're really dragging their feet there.

Obsidian sucks Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Finished Dark Sun: Shattered Lands. The game was a fun little ride with a nice balance between fighting and exploration. The game was short for RPG standards with me finishing the game at 23 hours. What I liked most was the world I think, I was always interested in what was going on in the next map. With the game being as short progression felt fast so there was always a reward for exploration and moving forward. I also switched to hard about 2/3rds the way through and wish I would have switched earlier and recommend hard for anyone that wants a decent challenge. I would love to see this setting in the Temple of Elemental Evil engine, sort of the pinnicle of 2d graphics, would have been great. My Half Giant gladiator and my muscled up chick Fighter/Druid/Preserver should have looked as awesome as they were. Edited August 14, 2017 by MeteorBear 1 Deviant Art
Krookie Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Finally picked up The Last of Us, so gonna give that a go this weekend.
Katphood Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I love the improved gun handling in BioShock: Infinite but I do miss the turret and vendor hacking from BioShock 2. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
WDeranged Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Finally decided No Man's Sky was worth buying for £15 after the latest update. Played for three hours last night and had a nicely chilled out time with it.

Labadal Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I'm playing Game of Thrones, not the Telltale visual novel, but the old rpg from 2913 or whatever the year was. I'm not the biggest fan of the combat, but I like the rest, so far. On PS Vita, I am playing Adventures of Mana. Simple but fun.

For that to happen, they have to completely overhaul the ships handling and combat system. But aside from that it's a pretty fun and relaxing survival game that you can play in a multitude of ways.

Tale Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I feel like I might be nearing the end of Prey. Only a couple areas remain locked off from me and between Psychic Water and my neuromods I can use Psychoshock III with near abandon.

HoonDing Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 kinda weird replaying Tomb raider prolly because I know what horrible things can h appen to her, i really want to protect her The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Labadal Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I completed with the Game of Thrones RPG. It was surprisingly good. Well written and the combat wasn't really what I was expecting. I thought it would be action rpg, but it's more of real-time with slow motion as you select skills. I big positive surprise. Unfortunately, as this wasn't a high budget game, the world feels a bit dead with not many NPCs around and the cities are fairly small. I saved at one point and tried out all the different outcomes of the endings. I'm now replaying Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in Luck Mode. I've never tried it before. Adventures of Mana on PS Vita and Arc the Lad II on PS3 alongside SotN. 4
Heijoushin Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Playing Starcraft Remastered now. Yup, there's a walk down memory lane. Never thought I'd ever replay the Starcraft 1 campaigns. Now we can only pray for Warcraft 1&2 remakes (will never happen though...). 2
Labadal Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Sped through Caslevania: SotN, still a masterpiece in my opinion. I'm now playing Beyond Good & Evil. Speeding through, this one too. Hoping to have it beat by tonight.
Malcador Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Giving Arma 3 another go. Refreshing to see units not using AT weapons on infantry at distance like in OA. The new Eden editor is pretty cool. Also playing through ME3 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Keyrock Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) I found out today that Sudden Strike 4 has friendly fire (to some degree). I called in an airstrike and one of my tanks was in the path where the bomber dropped its payload and I sorta blew up my own tank. #ProGamer #BrilliantStrategist Edited August 17, 2017 by Keyrock 3 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Now you have the enemy thinking: If he does that to his own units, what the he** will he do to us? 5
Labadal Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Beyond Good & Evil is also beaten. I should try to beat Tale of Wuxia. I don't think I have much left of the game, and besides, I bought the new game that is now available on Steam.
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Prey is half off on Steam, and also there's a free trial. Started playing it yesterday. 1 "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
SonicMage117 Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Sonic Mania is amazing... definitely holds up to all the praise it's been getting! :D Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...
Labadal Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I finally wrapped up 侠客风云传(Tale of Wuxia). I've been playing this on and off for the whole year. I had two simultaneous playthroughs and I'm done with both. I'm on a roll.
mkreku Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I bought Ghost Recon: Wildlands in a Eurogamer (!) sale and I've been playing that on and off. This game is damn good! I have no idea why so many reviewers gave it middling scores. It looks fantastic, you can play through everything in co-op, the world is gigantic (and sooo well made) and the gameplay reasonably varied and fun. Also, it's so ridiculously polished. Just how menus look and behave, how easy it is to transport yourself and your tram everywhere, how snazzy the weapon modifications look, how the physics affect almost everything (from explosions to fall damage to destructible environments). Everything seems to have an extra layer of thought put into them. I was wandering through the wilderness, far away from anything, when I found a small path. It wasn't even on the map, but it went up to a vertical cliffside and disappeared into the rock. I got curious and followed the path, and it turned out someone had carved a very realistic looking passage through the cliff so the path could spindle its way up to the top of the cliff. I was so impressed! This must be one of the biggest games ever made and still.. someone took the time to create that little non-mapped path and made it look realistic and cool in the middle of nowhere. I loved that. 3 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Katphood Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Got back to Playing Dark Souls. I was having trouble beating the Taurus Demon but then asked myself: "What if I just blindly rushed to the boss-fight and ignored all enemies?" I beat him. 1 There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

Obsidian sucks Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Realms of Arkania II Star Trail. Its really good, but for the first 20 hours I had to play with the manual next to me. I even color coded the spells to make referencing what spells do faster. Deviant Art
